Welcome to ai.planet, the totally free artificial life simulator! This game is just as
entertaining as it is educational, and it even features a full OpenGL 3D engine with plenty
of eye candy.
<br><br>
This manual is here to give you a brief overview of ai.planet and the most essential
functions and tools it provides. It can't detail every aspect of the game, as ai.planet is
a very complex simulation; but you will learn how it works by trying different scenarios.
The possibilities are virtually endless. You are the god in ai.planet's world.
